Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed goalies in its other 2026-27 games, plus 0.0 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for goalies that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s goalies’ saves in his games, 100%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 100% of the difference the model predicts.
